I've used FF every day for the last year or so on my MBP since they started making all of the usability improvements. Works as good as if not better than Chrome with tons of add-ons installed. uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, etc. Switched my default search engine to DDG. Really nice to see these companies like Apple, Firefox, and DDG care about their consumers.

Still fails to play twitch streams or youtube without eating the hell out of your CPU and embeded youtube videos still lag in many cases (when you hover over the player's control panel for example). Nothing critical, but those things are still there and in their bug reports.
